Don't think it's compulsory but it's odd not to have one when everyone is using it. It's a good if it is used meaningfully but most likely, the kids will play games with it. It's addictive :slapshead:

For the past 7-8 batches, there were two batches with COP 251, a few batches with COP 253. This was when many other top schools have COPs in the 260++ ranges or at least in the top 250 ranges..

So, still I do not think RV has lose out in term of relative strength w.r.t to other top schools. It has remained almost unchanged despite the big hoo-ha in big swing in t-score ranges in the past few years.

Hey BBEwee


Guess u already knew, its compulsory to own a 1-to-1 ipad, no sharing with siblings though.

Its a good deal to order through sch. For the same px, sch's vendor come with freebies like protective cover and earphone
